David Byrne is currently (through early or mid Feb I think) performing a show on Broadway called American Utopia, which is a David Byrne-choreographed concert of his music, spanning his entire career (including lots of Talking Heads music). I saw this show in New Orleans at the New Orleans JazzFest in April 2018, and enjoyed it so much that I traveled to Paris that summer to see it again (and where it was even better). I'll be seeing it a third time in NYC next week.

I highly encourage anybody who's a David Byrne or Talking Heads fan to see this show. It's great.
